IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE

HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION

COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE

ACTION NO.1898 OF 2002

---------------------

----------------------

----------------------------------------

RULING  ON  COSTS

----------------------------------------

1. On 22 December 2004, I made an order nisi that “the plaintiff has to pay 90% of the costs of the proceedings to the 1^st and 2^nd defendants”.  By letter dated 4 January 2005, the plaintiff asked that I should defer making any costs order until after his intended appeal.  I decline to do so.  This order will not prejudice the plaintiff’s appeal.  I confirm the order nisi so that it is now made absolute.
